THE NAT TURNER
REFERENCE LIBRARY
The Nat Turner Library is a living memorial
to the ideal of Freedom, Justice and Equality that
Nat Turner wanted for his people back in 1831. He
was born into Chattel Slavery in the year 1800. He
grew as a child, witnessing the abuse, killing and
selling of family members, friends and playmates;
these experiences convinced him that he was obliged
to dedicate his life to help Black people change
their own condition.
The Nat Turner Library houses, perhaps, the
largest collection of Books in the world about Nat
Turner. It is a place to see Videos, read and
research the general history of Black people; and is
the site from where the Living History Tour of the
Nat Turner Trail is staged. The inspiration and
model for The Nat Turner Library is The Schomburg
Center for Black Culture in Harlem, N.Y.
Call 434-378-2140
for more information.
A Tour of the Nat Turner Trail will be
conducted on the morning
of December 26, between 11 am and 1 pm. Call
434-378-2140. Proceeds from the tour and other
donations will help with operating expenses of The
Nat Turner Library. Kwanzaa Buttons are the first of
many cultural buttons that will be created to
support the private institution.
As Schomburg was
established from the Private collection of Mr.
Arthur Schomburg, The Nat Turner Library started as
the private collection of its Founder. Call

lDECEMBER FAST
DECLARED BY
THE HONORABLE
ELIJAH MUHAMMAD
by H. Khalif Khalifah
-----------------------
12/1/07
This
is to say to all within my reach that I still observe the fast that was declared
by The Honorable Elijah Muhammad. I have observed the month of December to
varying degrees of success for 33 years. I always attempt to participate in it
100% through my every word, act and deed. And though this is an impossibility,
the striving have help keep me as close to the straight and narrow path that I
am. I have been abundantly blessed by Allah when I forget, go into error or make
a mistake. And I have concluded that the grea-test blessing of all is that I
turn to The Creator, Sustainer and Cherisher of all persons, places and things
for help. So after 33 years of striv-ing, I believe I am in the position in life
that I have the best chance of being 100% dutiful dur-ing this month I pray for
success for everyone who is participating, ob-serving or sensitive to Black
Muslims during this time. Ultimately, I fast for the power to be a better
servant to African people, as we continue to struggle for “Freedom, Justice and
Equality”………..Peace, Khalifah, December 1, 2007

A History of N'COBRA and the Reparations Movement, by H. KHALIF
KHALIFAH, is first published book about the Coalition that put Reparations in
the minds, hearts of many, and lips of people in the U. S. A. and around the
world. It is the first Book that is written about N'COBRA by one of it's leaders
during the peak of its growth in the 1990's.
Khalifah served on
the National Board of Directors for six years, was Co-Chair of the Human
Services Commission for five years, Facilitated a Media Workshop that
conceptionalized and formulated the N'Cobra listserv, served with Dr. Obadele
and Cicero Love on the first Economic Development Commission (a workshop
/committee, at the time) and was the co-ordinator for the 9th Annual Reparations
Convention in Hampton, and Southampton, Virginia in 1998.
His book is
illustrated with multiple, color pictures to highlight many of the 16
Conventions of N'COBRA; and also contains a good chronicle of Past Conventions.
It is 230 pages and cost $15.00. Go to
www.khabooks.com
As U.S.
political, civil and business leaders grappled with the pressing question of
"what to do with the Negroes?" the newly freed Africans cried out immediately
for restitution - payback for centuries of stolen labor, cultural degradation
and dehumanizations. Indeed, Africans held as slaves have been struggling for a
restored sense of wholeness since being brought to this country as chattel.
Other
organizations and individuals have carried the demand for reparations farther
into the twentieth century. Many of them have become a part of today's
Reparations Campaign which is being spearheaded by N'COBRA.
